Abstract: BACKGROUND The antibody response after pneumococcal vaccines and their effectiveness against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in patients with interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) deficiency have not been fully evaluated. Here, we evaluated pneumococcal serotype-specific opsonophagocytic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12866-025-04484-5
Abstract: Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, remains a major global health concern, particularly for children. Among more than 100 pneumococcal serotypes, 19A is known for its multidrug resistance (MDR) and increased incidence following… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12879-025-11384-6
Abstract: Urinary antigen detection (UAD) assays can address diagnostic challenges with culture-based identification of S. pneumoniae. We aimed to evaluate the utility of Pfizer’s UAD1 and UAD2 assays for pneumococcal serotype surveillance in children with community… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0262225
Abstract: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines reduce the burden of invasive pneumococcal disease, but the sustained effect of these vaccines can be diminished by an increase in disease caused by non-vaccine serotypes. To describe pneumococcal serotype epidemiology in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1156695
Abstract: Background Despite strong historical records on the accuracy of saliva testing, oral fluids are considered poorly suited for pneumococcal carriage detection. We evaluated an approach for carriage surveillance and vaccine studies that increases the sensitivity… read more here.
